<pre><font size='+2'>GIMME WHAT YOU GOT lyrics DON HENLEY</font><br>Baby picks off your plate--yours looks better<br />
And she throws hers on the floor<br />
Here, in the home of the brave<br />
And the land of the free<br />
The first word that baby learns is `more`<br />
<br />
So you`re out there floating like a big, puffy cloud<br />
With the pool and the charcoal<br />
  and the kids and the wife<br />
`Til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted<br />
And you step out into life<br />
<br />
And it`s still gimme, gimme what you got<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />
I said gimme, gimme what you got<br />
  (I want it, I want it)<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />
<br />
Now it`s take and take takeover, takeover<br />
It`s all take and never give<br />
All these trumped up towers<br />
They`re just golden showers<br />
Where are people supposed to live?<br />
<br />
You can arm yourself, alarm yourself<br />
But there`s nowhere you can run<br />
`Cause a man with a briefcase<br />
  can steal more money<br />
Than any man with a gun<br />
<br />
I said gimme, gimme what you got<br />
Said gimme, gimme what you got<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />
<br />
You got the price of admission--<br />
You don`t have to ask permission<br />
To take somethin` from another man<br />
You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby<br />
Make you an offer that you can`t understand<br />
<br />
From Main Street to Wall Street to Washington<br />
From men to women to men<br />
It`s a nation of noses pressed up against the glass<br />
They`ve seen it on the TV<br />
And they want it pretty fast<br />
<br />
You spend your whole life<br />
Just pilin` it up there<br />
You got stacks and stacks and stacks<br />
Then, Gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder<br />
But you don`t see no hearses with luggage racks<br />
<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />
I said gimme, gimme what you got<br />
I said gimme, gimme what you got<br />
  (I want it, I want it)<br />
Gimme, gimme what you got<br />

Baby picks off your plate--yours looks better
And she throws hers on the floor
Here, in the home of the brave
And the land of the free
The first word that baby learns is `more`

So you`re out there floating like a big, puffy cloud
With the pool and the charcoal
and the kids and the wife
`Til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted
And you step out into life

And it`s still gimme, gimme what you got
Gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
(I want it, I want it)
Gimme, gimme what you got

Now it`s take and take takeover, takeover
It`s all take and never give
All these trumped up towers
They`re just golden showers
Where are people supposed to live?

You can arm yourself, alarm yourself
But there`s nowhere you can run
`Cause a man with a briefcase
can steal more money
Than any man with a gun

I said gimme, gimme what you got
Said gimme, gimme what you got
Gimme, gimme what you got
Gimme, gimme what you got

You got the price of admission--
You don`t have to ask permission
To take somethin` from another man
You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby
Make you an offer that you can`t understand

From Main Street to Wall Street to Washington
From men to women to men
It`s a nation of noses pressed up against the glass
They`ve seen it on the TV
And they want it pretty fast

You spend your whole life
Just pilin` it up there
You got stacks and stacks and stacks
Then, Gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder
But you don`t see no hearses with luggage racks

Gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
(I want it, I want it)
Gimme, gimme what you got
